Hi,
I am trying to build a very simple Haskell function (foo) which I can
then
call from C, using an example I got from the GHC FFI Wiki. The problem
is that
the resulting program fails to run with a seg fault.
Here is the code:
---Haskell Module start (Foo.hs)
module Foo where
foreign export ccall foo :: Int -> IO Int
foo :: Int -> IO Int
foo n = return (length (f n))
f :: Int -> [Int]
f 0 = []
f n = n:(f (n-1))
---Haskell Module end
/*- C module start foo.c*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include "Foo_stub.h"
int main(void)
{
int x = foo(100);
//printf("x = %d\n", x);
return 0;
}
/*- C module end */
The I build the a.out with the commands:
ghc -fglasgow-exts -fffi -c Foo.hs
ghc -fglasgow-exts -fffi Foo.o Foo_stub.o foo.c
Now if I run the resulting a.out then I get:
Segmentation fault
Quickly putting this through GDB I get:
gdb ./a.out
